place light in kitchen

Hi!

 

I'd light to add some downlights in my kitchen, not on the ceiling but in my furniture. When I import a lighting fixture from Bimobjects they only allow me to insert it in the ceiling.

How do I change this parameter? 

 

Thank you

I guess it is ceiling hosted. A really quick and dirty fix is to model a ceiling in your furniture.

Another fix is to nest it in a unhosted family and propagate the parameters.

There's a method to change a Ceiling hosted to a Face hosted as well.  It's a pretty nifty trick to learn and have in your skillset.  There's a bunch of video tutorials about it on the web.  Here's one. There are many others as well.  Have fun!

The youtube tutorial is really helpful, I tried doing it and somehow I was able to change the hosting and insert my lights on a different space. Thank you!
